Maybe: couldn't you reduce the number of hits per minute and block the IP for a certain period of time? In WP, for example, you can do this with Wordfence

@werawelt @morihofi thats only fixing the symptoms not the problem.

maybit

@leah @werawelt @morihofi
agree also, but fixing the problem, while it is something I'd like to see happen or even contribute to, is not something actionable which would relieve the anxiety* I feel reading about this

* light anxiety level, no need for a CW, I'm just expressing my feelings

@werawelt @morihofi @leah nah, typical visitors do bursts (page, CSS, fonts, images, js), so you’d hurt them too much

.oO(maybe one could just block all “cloud” services, since they don’t list their customers’ actual ranges in WHOIS and change them too often anyway… if enough people did this, maybe we could get good IP subnet to customer mapping in WHOIS…)
